great to see this. when I visited, video cameras were prohibitive cost, great to see this. no water at the baths: O renovation work? I should get my piccies scanned on to computer at some point. ooo I see you wrote of more videos from ethiopia; will have a peep. Amazing country and I found very friendly folk too, even if language barrier was sometimes difficult and the poverty was widespread.

Wow, so beautiful It's interesting that even south of the Sahara, medieval Hindu/Arab and European Baroque style architecture can be found. And it makes sense considering how close E. Africa and the Arabian Peninsula are to one another - they nearly touch

Does anyone know how it's possible (4: 03) that there are trees seemingly growing on top of a brick wall with roots reaching to the ground? I don't understand how that happened

This just shows that black Africans are capable of building advanced structures. I wonder what early Europeans thought when they saw all these castles?
